IMO ... You're not a Jew just because your name is Goldberg.

You're a Jew who believes in a creator God with established laws.

Most of those laws align with born again Christians .... as adopted into the family Jews.


But the reformed Jew is still salvageable

Well, it’s been said that there are Jews, and then there are atheists who call themselves Jews.

You ARE a Jew ethnically if your name is Goldberg or Marx. Karl’s father converted, but Karl was Jewish by ethnicity.

Rabbinical Judaism is today mainly a ethno-religion. During the time of Christ there were gentiles who converted to Judaism (a noted Roman of the Imperial Flavian dynasty was among these converts), but that number dwindled.

Rabbinical Judaism is mainly ethno-religious i.e. you are born into the Jewish ethnicity, whatever your religion.

This is similar to the Druze - like George Clooney’s wife Amal Alamuddin. All reports are that she doesn’t practice the faith, but she is born into it.

This is similar to Parsis - like Freddie Mercury/Faroukh Balsara who was born a Zoroastrian but seems not to have practiced.

This is true for Alawis, for Yazidis, for Mandaens, and to a large extent for Armenian Orthodox, for Copts, etc.


“Most of those laws align with bjorn again..” —> err.. NO, they do not.

Rabbinical Judaism has a deep corpus of work in the Talmud. The Talmud is the Oral Torah of the Pharisees with 400 years of dialogue between the various Rabbis of Babylon, Egypt etc.

Pick it up - it is highly complex and very logical reading.

But it is not “aligned with bjorn again” — no siree.
